SSHRC Awarded IDG 2012: This research project seeks to reconstruct the milieu of post-war film lecturing in Canada and U.S. by piecing together the careers of individual filmmakers, delving into the histories of exhibition sites and booking agencies while also probing the collections of museums,...

We studied the relationships between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and thyroid hormones (THs) and retinol within two groups of female polar bears (Ursus maritimus), females with cubs of the year (FWCOY) and females without cubs of the year (FWOCOY), and within a group of males. Concentrations...

The ability of species to adapt to the shifting environmental conditions associated with climate change will be a key determinant of their persistence in the coming decades. This is a challenge already faced by species in the Arctic, where rapid environmental change is well underway. Caribou and...

Polar UDC, created largely by the Scott Polar Library at Cambridge, England, is a variant of Universal Decimal Classification. Polar UDC arranges materials by geography, rather than subject. A system of numerical classes, representing geographic regions overlays the standard UDC subject...

Shrub encroachment in arctic and alpine tundra: Patterns of expansion and ecosystem impacts.
DownloadFall 2011
With a warming climate, northern ecosystems will face significant ecological changes such as permafrost thaw, increased frequency of forest fires, and shifting ecosystem boundaries including the spread of canopy-forming shrubs into tundra communities. A growing number of observations show...

Space and habitat use of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Davis Strait in relation to sea ice conditions and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus)
DownloadFall 2022
Patterns of space use and habitat selection by polar bears (Ursus maritimus) vary among subpopulations where they have been studied. The Davis Strait subpopulation is one of the least researched polar bear subpopulations and their spatial ecology is largely unknown. As an obligate carnivore,...

Spatial and temporal variations of the surface energy balance and ablation on the Belcher Glacier, Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada.
DownloadSpring 2011
In the summer of 2008 (June 2nd – September 19th) detailed measurements of meteorological conditions and glacier surface properties were conducted in the Belcher Glacier catchment (718 km2), Devon Island Ice Cap, Nunavut, Canada. These measurements were used to force and validate a distributed...

Disruptions to Canada’s pristine northern regions have been steadily increasing due to industrial activities. Many of these impacts lead to destruction or harmful alteration of aquatic ecosystems. Recently, efforts have been made to reduce and offset aquatic habitat impacts through habitat...

Indigenous peoples in northern Canada are already experiencing significant climate change impacts. Young Indigenous people will inherit serious climate effects that threaten their physical and mental health, as well as ancestral traditions. It is these same young people that live in communities...

The net exchange of carbon greenhouse gases with high Arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
DownloadSpring 2015
Accelerated climate warming of Canada’s sparsely vegetated high Arctic has resulted in rapid environmental changes including loss of glacial ice, permafrost thaw, decreased snow cover and changing plant communities. These responses are causing mostly unknown changes to the natural cycling of the...
